Queensland State Rose Garden

Queensland State Rose Garden The State Rose Garden in Newtown Park has more than 2100 roses planted and was established in the year 2000 and will continually be developed by volunteers

The Qld State Rose Garden in Newtown Park has more than 2,100 roses planted, with many more to be planted over coming years. This rosarium is being continually upgraded as a living memorial to the people of this city and the district in general. This has been one of the most successful community projects in Toowoomba, with residents and volunteers contributing donations or in-kind support. The maj

or planting of roses in the garden was selected from the floribunda, hybrid tea, David Austin and climbing varieties. Of special interest are the Titian and Carabella roses, which were bred in Toowoomba and are just two of the Reithmuller Roses. The historic Newtown Park is bounded by Holberton, Taylor, Tor and Pottinger Streets. Of special interest to historians is the Entrance Pavilion off Holberton Street where the history of the park and its people since 1912, and the history of roses, is displayed on brass plaques. The Friends of the State Rose Garden in Newtown Park has contributed to construction and development of the garden. The Friends volunteer from 50 to 70 hours per week, depending on the season, for maintenance of the roses.

🌹 Late Season Colour 🌹

These two roses are still putting on a show as the season winds down. The pale pink ‘Lions Rose’ (Floribunda, 2007) pairs beautifully with the bold ‘Pinkie’ Climber (Polyantha, 1947) in hot pink, set against a clear blue sky.

A nice contrast of soft and bright tones before pruning time begins.

The yellow ‘Gold Medal’ (Hybrid Tea, 1982) rose is lighting up the rose garden today with its cheerful blooms and sunny colour. It’s one of those flowers that seems to smile back at you—radiating warmth, joy, and a touch of golden magic.

A perfect match for this beautiful day!

The ‘Gold Medal’ is a hardy rose that enjoys full sun and can also tolerate cold winters. A good choice for Toowoomba with our annual temperatures ranging from 0-30+.

Absolutely gorgeous vase of roses. 🌹
